This must be part of some judgment against MCI for slamming.  In
punishment for changing the long distance carrier for random telephone
lines, someone is forcing them to give refunds to random telephone
lines.

[Moderator's Note: I don't really think this is the case. There may be
a class-action suit against MCI for slamming, but I have not heard of
it. But in class actions I am familiar with, the settlement usually
calls for injured parties to at least submit some sort of claim form
with the court and evidence of what occurred.  Any other ideas?   PAT]
